5 million text messages

this is what the text message from the police said this morning:'Extreme weather in Vic expected Tuesday March 3. High wind and fire risk. Listen to ABC Local Radio for emergency updates. Do not reply to this msg'it was sent to 5 million victorians! quite incredible really – the weather is getting so out of hand {not a new statement!}.

this pic is a perfect illustration of our day! they are binoculars on a handle and if you look through them you can see 2 of everything :)

we stayed home today & i over did it in the kitchen {lots of orange and poppyseed cupcakes, half of them burnt on the bottom}!

Yeah, today felt like a bit of a sign of what's to come, didn't it? Felt very strange having to tell my children that they couldn't go outside all day. (I was too worried a tree might fall on them.) Such oppressive weather.Had to laugh, though, yesterday when I got that msg on my phone from Vic Police and my boss started boasting that he was obviously the only one in the office not on the police database, 10 seconds before he got the same msg.
